5 Reasons why you should get your car window tinted now!

With the 365 sunny days in the United Arab Emirates, window film installation is a popular choice for many. People choose window tinting for protection, privacy, aesthetic enhancement, or all three. The effects of the sun’s glare, UV rays and heat are just a few reasons why you should go for a window film installation.

Overheating

In the UAE sometimes, especially during the summer, heat can get dangerous, and even deadly. Residents in the Gulf commonly see thermometers hit +40C which feels like +50C inside the car due to the multiplying factor of the glass. Getting back to your car after several hours of outdoor parking makes it impossible to get into the vehicle without cooling it. To avoid such discomfort and prevent heat up to 76% getting your vehicle windows tinted is extremely important. This will not only make it comfortable for you and the passenger, but it will also decrease your fuel consumption as your air conditioning system become more efficient.

Health

Enjoying mild winters comes with a price – hot summers. The UAE is blessed with sunshine, a lot of it, but such amount of sun rays can be very harmful to the skin that can cause serious illnesses and even cancer. Window tinting can play the role of sunscreen as quality window films block over 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays not only in your car but also at your home and offices.

Safety

Driving during daytime can sometimes get difficult with the sun beating into the car and making it hard to see. Window tinting reduces this dangerous glare from the sun, light reflection on water, and other lighting hazards such as high beams, helping you drive safely.
Moreover, an auto accident is one of the worst things that can happen to us. In the event of an accident, high-performance window film can protect the occupants of the car from flying shards by holding shattered glass together.

Privacy

The vehicles we drive reflect our personality, they are a statement of our character. We should feel secure, safe and comfortable. Tinting your car windows will add to your privacy and protect your contents within your car, be it in a parking lot or simply waiting at a signal light.

Car Interior Protection

Harmful UV rays, excessive heat, and light, not only harm your skin but also are the biggest causes of cracking and fading of furnishings and car interiors. High performance automotive and residential window films act like a sunscreen protecting your leather and wooden interiors from cracking and fading.

Paint Protection Film should be cared for in the same way you would care for the paint on your vehicle. To keep your Paint Protection Film looking great, we recommend you follow a few simple guidelines:

Allow 72 hours after installation before washing your car

Frequent specialized washing is recommended

Only wash your car by a specialist. leadright provides premium car wash and gives you 12 free ones with every PPF installation.

Remove any wax build‐up along film edges with a lint‐free cloth

Resist the urge to pick at the edges of the film, or to scratch off dirt from the edges with your fingernail. You’ll just wind up peeling it back. Bring it in, and we'll clean it for you.

Only use soft terry cloth or microfiber towels when cleaning the surface

Avoid using a power buffer on the film

Do not wipe or scrub the film in direct sunlight or when the film is hot

leadright offers the following products from ProTech. We do not recommend using abrasive cleaners or solvent based degreasers on the film

We start by prepping your car’s painted surface, gently cleaning it to remove any dust particles, grease or bird stains. We use premium products from ProTech® Monte Carlo that are specifically developed for our premium car wash process.

Decontamination through rubber clay is then rubbed over the painted surface to remove all paint impurities, making it super smooth and ready for the application.

We then rectify the painted surface by eliminating scratches through specially developed machines that work in both in circular and orbital movements to ensure the best results.

This is a 3 steps application process of the formula engineered by ProTech® Monte Carlo. It protects against harsh weather conditions and regular wear and tear, giving your car that mirror-effect gloss with a 40% more shine and 5X slicker effect. This has been made possible by the latest technology developed to provide the highest hydrophobic and oleophobic effect.

Before applying the film, we first prepare your car’s surface, gently cleaning it to remove any dirt from the surface. This is done through our premium car wash that is specific to this service.

Rubber clay is then rubbed over the painted surface to remove all impurities, making it super smooth and ready for the application. This is known as decontamination.

We then apply a formula engineered by ProTech® that will protect and add 40% more shine to the surface and removes all scratches. This is also known as rectification to the painted surface.

Pre-cutting is done upon request where we feed the patterns of the car to a special software and cutting machine that produces a sheet with exact measurements to the body parts. This is helpful when you want a PPF applied to certain parts of the car such as door edges and headlights rather than the entire surface.

The BODYFENCE® film is flawlessly applied to each car part without leaving any traces or creases. Our technique does not leave cut marks and the surfaces are covered to their interior. This prevents the film from peeling and accumulating dust.

Finally, a special formula engineered by ProTech® is added over the BODYFENCE® film protecting it against harsh weather conditions and regular wear and tear. This makes it last longer so that it doesn’t yellow over time and gives it that mirror-effect gloss with an extra shine.

We first prepare your car’s surface, gently cleaning it to remove any grease or bird stains and preparing its surface for the second stage.

Decontamination by rubber clay is then rubbed over the surface to remove all paint impurities, making it super smooth and ready for applying the foil.

The wrap then gets perfectly applied to each car part, without leaving any traces or creases.

Finally, a special formula engineered by ProTech® is added over your new wrap giving it a hydrophobic and oleophobic effect that protects it against harsh weather conditions and regular wear and tear, making the foil last longer.
